Rooster_Ties Posted June 5, 2023 Report Posted June 5, 2023 Just saw this on the NPR app… Reuben Wilson, organist who helped usher in soul jazz, has died at 88. https://www.npr.org/2023/06/05/1180128842/reuben-wilson-b-3-hammond-organ-soul-jazz-obituary Quote
Dmitry Posted June 5, 2023 Report Posted June 5, 2023 We saw him in August 2019 at the Jazz Forum in Tarrytown, NY. Trio with Paul Bollenback and Carmen Intorre. I liked how he played Misty. Quote
JSngry Posted June 6, 2023 Report Posted June 6, 2023 RIP I like most of his records, but was tickled to no end with his Beastie Boys cover album! Quote

danasgoodstuff Posted June 6, 2023 Report Posted June 6, 2023 RIP, the man made some fine recordings and I'm glad he got to make a comeback. He made at least two dates for BN that remain unissued. Interesting that he never returned to the label like so many others did. Quote

My appreciation for the organ wasn't where it is today and I didn't like the club, so I skipped it. Oof. Rest in peace, Mr. Wilson, and thank you for the music. Quote
Big Al Posted June 6, 2023 Report Posted June 6, 2023 Ah dangit. One of the greats. Blue Mode is a beast of an album. Quote
mhatta Posted June 6, 2023 Report Posted June 6, 2023 (edited) RIP. When I first heard this lovely song a long time ago, I thought it was by Burt Bacharach or someone, but it seems to be Reuben's own composition. What a talented dude. Edited June 6, 2023 by mhatta Quote
sidewinder Posted June 9, 2023 Report Posted June 9, 2023 Sad news, RIP. I have always enjoyed his Blue Notes. Quote
